Abstract

The report describes a study to develop a format for Best Available Technology Economically Achievable (BATEA) cost analysis, including pertinent cost data. The format is to aid Regional U.S. EPA personnel in evaluating economic appeal cases for BATEA. Through discussion with U.S. EPA Regional personnel and a review of cost engineering literature, two sample formats were developed: one for capital investment; the other for operating costs. The cost analysis formats were designed specifically for application to the iron and steel industry; although, with modification, they could be used for other industries as well. General information regarding various cost components is provided as a basis for analyzing cost estimates presented by specific iron and steel plants.
